atomicVector-class: Virtual Class "atomicVector" of Atomic Vectors
Description
The class"atomicVector" is a
virtual class containing all atomic vector classes of base R,
as also implicitly defined via is.atomic.
Arguments
Objects from the Class
A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.
Methods
In the Matrix package, the "atomicVector" is used in signatures
where typically “old-style” "matrix" objects can be used and
can be substituted by simple vectors.
Extends
The atomic classes
"logical", "integer", "double", "numeric",
"complex", "raw" and "character" are extended
directly. Note that "numeric" already contains "integer"
and "double", but we want all of them to be direct subclasses of
"atomicVector".
